Tickletown also serves as a venue for local artisans to sell their work. All items sold at Tickletown’s Super Localmart are hand-crafted, eco-friendly, locally made wares, including local textiles and fiber, quilts, soaps, salves, candles, books, baskets, wooden bowls, and more.

This outdoor event is rain or shine with a suggested donation of $10 at the door. Free admission for children under 10. The festival is a fundraiser with proceeds going to benefit the Tickletown community.
